kit number), here are a few things you should know.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on until you

Good water quality is important for good ice quality.
Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to
a
softened
water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt
from a malfunctioning softener) can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If you cannot
avoid a softened water supply, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
